Do you know those Christmas Films where Santa loose the Christmas spirit and everyone think Christmas is ruined ? Those films where there is always an elf or some resourceful kid who is not scared of anyone, someone like Kevin MCCallister, whose parents are always too busy to leave them with no control. When we were 8 probably we couldn’t have helped an elf and certainly not saved Santa or Christmas, I mean our parents were not that distracted, unfortunately, and trust us you can get out of your mom sight but grandmas not, they never miss a thing.

Well lately we feel a little bit like a Santa Claus who need a save Christmas operation. We tried it all fairy lights, cinnamon everything, Micheal Bubblè, nothing worked out, this year is like something didn’t happen. The fact is I – Terry – am usually the embodiment of Holiday spirit and given that Lit is not an elf we are worried this year the joyful Christmas excitement has taken a vacation. Then there is Rome, which is not helping us, honestly it is not a very christmassy city, with christmas markets and the scent of spices in the air, or ice skating rinks and mesmerizing fairy lights decorations.

we decided to find a way back in the festive thrill and we tried with festive dressing.

We needed to find a remedy, though. So last weekend we decided to find a way back in the festive thrill and we tried with festive dressing. You don’t have to limit yourself to just deck the halls, rights? During December you can totally wear something extra bold and out of the ordinary winter clothing, starting with a Christmas jumper for instance!
Be brave choose the one you really like whether is classy or tacky, it’s Christmas once a year. I really like my Christmas jumper this year, Santa define good !

Then add a lot of red, it is a classic, but try something new like red tartan trousers, we find them so festive and you can wear them with a cozy jumper for an apprès-ski attire or a total black for a shopping day in the city. When it comes to hats we agree that bobble hats are not just the cutest but also warm enough for cold December days!

We’ll keep up with our operation save Christmas perhaps we will find a very christmassy spot here in Rome too. The giant Christmas tree in San Peter Square has been a good start! Then who knows maybe an elf will come to help us out or a fearless kid who managed to escape grandma while she was too busy cooking for a ginormous Christmas lunch italian style. Will it take a tacky christmas jumper or an unexpected gift or the right song to rekindle the magic?
